Sedan council discusses denied roof claim and refocuses sewer grant planning
Summary
Council members learned the insurer will not cover the City Hall roof (no hail damage found) and agreed to remain with Ram's Roofing's bid for repairs; staff and consultants discussed CDBG sewer grant options and the council opted to pursue multiple locations while leaving one corner out of the current scope.
The Sedan City Council discussed a denied insurance claim for the City Hall roof and options for sewer repairs during its Feb. 3 meeting.
City Clerk Lana Smith told the council that the city's insurance company said it would not cover the City Hall roof because no hail damage was found; the insurer will meet with Ram's Roofing for a further inspection. Council members agreed to keep Ram's Roofing's bid and pursue repairs even if the insurer ultimately declines coverage.
On sewer planning, City Clerk Lana Smith and Public Works Superintendent Caleb Ironsyde reported meeting with BG Consultants about sewer work at the corner of School Street and Highway 99. Per Stephanie Marsh with SCKEDD, the city may apply for a CDBG grant that covers multiple locations in town. The council agreed to leave the School Street/99 corner out of the current grant application and to focus on other areas around town, and also favored getting additional engineering quotes.
Council action on the roof repair was a consensus to retain Ram's Roofing's bid rather than a recorded motion with a formal vote. The minutes record the discussions and direction to staff but do not specify contract terms or a timeline for roof repairs or sewer project bidding.
The clerk and public works staff were directed to pursue additional engineering quotes and to coordinate any next steps with the city's insurance broker.
